Buds budding.
Honoring what new.

You’re invited to join me for a yearlong practice of seasonal honoring.

The Mystical Year is “slow magic”. We’ll pace ourselves with Earth’s seasons and feel the ease of this grounding, inspiring rhythm.

We’ll use scent and anointing rituals to connect the seasons with our own psyches & tend the facets of our wisdom.

Contemplation & creative writing will be our sanctuaries for aligning with Nature & Self.

Early Bird tuition is now available.

Green Man oil, available in the online shop tomorrow.

A beautiful blend of lichen, conifer, & resin essential oils & absolutes, Green Man smells like the woods, the purest forest.

Based in organic sesame oil, use it for skin nourishment, baths, beards, massages, or as a personal scent.

If you like the scent of the woods, you’ll like it. It’s not gender specific.

It’s makes for a great gift & a cute stocking stuffer.

Bottle options: 2 oz or a .33 oz roller bottle.

Green Man oil is also at if you’re local & want to avoid shipping.

Daily divination. A practice of inquiry & clarity. A devotion to self-knowing & soul growth.

Scent divination. Using the body’s sensory wisdom as a guide, a translator that reveals truth, direction, and resonance.

Smell each of the seven oil blends. Simply notice your response to them. This is a divination practice.

A neutral response = neutral wisdom.
A positive response = an easeful, fluid wisdom
A negative response = a growth oriented wisdom.

Do it everyday. Or only on the holy days. Or whenever.

Do it as a solo practice, with your circle, or to help your clients.

Pictured is the Mystic’s Kit. All seven oils, the pocket guide, and an up cycled handmade tray.

Find this kit at and in my online shop.

Gift it to the one with lots of tarot decks, pendulums, & dowsing rods who has yet to try scent divination. Or the one who loves scent, daily devotion, and/or archetypes.

Or buy it for yourself, an investment in growth, clarity, soul growth, and the senses.

Blended with oils normally smelled as smoke, The Wisdom Keeper anointing oil brings an air of sacredness.

Ideal for Samhain season, the waning crescent moon, & as the night sets in.

Anoint to remind yourself of confidence, to rid yourself of arrogance, and to gentle your rhythm.

Find it at:

See ya’ll at the Fayre today! I’ll have some Green Man oil & Temple spray along with the anointing oils
Plus, the array of vendors, musicians, healing arts, and cuisine is not to be missed!
A beautiful event curated by the one & only 🙏

A few scenes from a year ago.

If it weren’t an anniversary, today feels serene with crickets singing & the dawn nice & slow. There is a thick comfort to this morning, its stillness, the way skin must feel once salve is smoothed onto it.

May salve be smoothed on, a comfort, an assistance, to whatever this anniversary is bringing up for you.
